Mario Galaxy -ish controls problem
Hi there!
I am prototyping a Mario Galaxy style ("faux") gravity system. While the attraction force didn't give me much trouble, the controls are giving me a headache.
You can move. You can jump. But when you do both things simultaneously, everything goes whack.
This is my bare-bones code:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {
private float moveSpeed = 15;
private Vector3 moveDirection;
void Start() {
}
void Update() {
moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"),0,Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical")).normalized;
}
void FixedUpdate() {
rigidbody.MovePosition (rigidbody.position + transform.TransformDirection (moveDirection) * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}
void OnCollisionStay (Collision col)
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space))
rigidbody.velocity += transform.up * 20;
}
}
Any leads?
Thanks a lot in advance!
You don't explain what is actually happening when things "[go] whack", but you probably shouldn't be modifying the velocity of the rigidbody outside of the FixedUpdate loop. You should also be getting your control input in Update.
void Update()
{
moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"),0,Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical")).normalized;
isJumping = Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space);
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
rigidbody.MovePosition (rigidbody.position + transform.TransformDirection (moveDirection) * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
if (isJumping)
rigidbody.velocity += transform.up * 20;
}
void OnCollisionEnter (Collision col)
{
// if (col is ground) -- only set isJumping to false if we touch the ground
isJumping = false;
}
bool isJumping;
You might also consider using rigidbody.AddForce instead of modifying the velocity directly.
I will try that, thanks!
When I said it "goes whack", I meant something I couldn't explain easily. I will try now, as I am not a native English speaker.
I jump while moving, and it moves smoothly in the air, but when I stop pressing the keyboard arrows, the player starts moving in the opposite direction (in the air too).
Nope, it's still going the opposite direction when I stop pressing the button.
